I have long seen myself as an iPhone evangalist.

I truly think it is the best handheld device available and, with each OS update it keeps getting better.

Sure, my wife went back to her Palm Centro after using an iPhone for a few weeks but, for the most part, my record of helping motivate people to make the move to iPhone has been pretty good.

In fact, I discovered yesterday that I’m having more impact than I thought. Here’s the set-up-

My sister’s kids, 7 year old twins, live in Boston but have been down a few times lately. When we go out to dinner I bring both my iPhone and Touch so one can use each. We went out to dinner and they went back o my parent’s house for the night. That’s when this exchange, reported by my sister took place…

Apple has redeemed itself.

The iPhone 3.0 SDK is one of the most promising updates that have ever been announced. Not only does Apple seem to have taken some time to finally incorporate features that have been demanded by iPhone owners for almost two years now, but it has, I think, proven to be a consumer satisfaction-driven company as of this past Tuesday.

Oh, and the Palm Pre? Not an iPhone killer.

MakeMeSay is a simple but fun game that is similar to Taboo but without the big bulky box. 

I recently reviewed it and liked it a whole lot but warned…

do not play with sore losers as each person takes a turn holding your precious device and the things do not bounce when thrown in frustration.

At just $0.99 the game is fun, convenient and highly economical.

Well a new version with 1000 more words and 2 new categories is on the way. In advance of that we have a number of promocodes for this fun game. For a chance to win one just tell us your favorite boardgame.

Codes will be award tomorrow night. A big thanks to Jason at Egg White Studios.

My Amazon Kindle2 received a firmware update yesterday that added the ability for publishers to determine whether or not the text-to-voice feature would be enabled.

To be honest, while I thought the voice-to-text was something I would never use I have already found it to be rather useful a number of times- robotic voice and all. It is, perhaps, this experience that made me so very excited to try out this app. I’m glad I did because it is nothing short of terrific!
